Charles: I can't say anything about PD and shingles but shingles can be cured by taking large doses of the amino acid L-lysine. L-lysine is available anywhere you buy over the counter vitamines and minerals. Start by taking one 1,000 mg tablet every hour. If that does not alleviate the symptoms up the dosage or time interval. >From what I have read, the herpes symplex which causes chicken pox, mononucleosis, cold sores and shingles can not exist in an environment high in l-lysine. Give it a try. It can't do any harm.
